Extinguishing Jesus Christ happens near Christian populations.“Now it happened, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, “Take note! David is in the Wilderness of En Gedi.” 1 Samuel 24:1 

Saul chased down the Philistines because they were carrying out an armed rebellion against his territories. After the military aggression was put down, Saul’s attention returned to chasing down David to kill him.

Today, the global government of the beast places first priority in putting down violence around the world. Even the aggression of Israel causes them to be labeled a hostile country to the peace and stability of the world. Soon, the “police action” of the global government will turn against Christianity. Already, those who hold to the teachings of the Bible are considered to be holding “extremist” views by United States government representatives. The “right wing” is being called “fascists” and “dangerous extremists”. Even the masses in the churches of today are a scourge to those who hold to the Gospel of Christ.

But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

Matthew 10:17-23

“Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.” 1 Samuel 24:2 

Those who live by the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak are the masses who dominate cities around the world. They habitually come against God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the whole of Christianity. While Jesus Christ refers to us as His sheep, they refer to us as “wild goats” because we do not conform to their “democratic” society. By welcoming the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do, they allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They are hostile to the non-conformity of “wild goats.” In contrast, followers of the Lord Jesus allow the image of Christ to live and speak through us by the Holy Spirit.

Those who let the image of the beast live and speak through them, by the thing which forms what they think and feel, are being conformed to their place in life by what they do and say. They despise Christianity. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

 “So he came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to attend to his needs. (David and his men were staying in the recesses of the cave.) 1 Samuel 24:3 Saul came to a sheepfold and went into a cave close to it for attending to “personal needs”. David and his men were in that same cave, hidden in the recesses.

Today, wherever the followers of Christ would be expected to gather, there will also be those who seek to extinguish Jesus Christ and Christianity in its entirety. They are in the caves of the sheepfolds rubbing shoulders with Christians. Not only do they dominate the churches with their overwhelming numbers, but they are in the bathrooms with us, eating with us, sleeping next to us, shopping around us, in the apartments next to ours, and they are in every niche and cave where Christians would be. The verse below is what Jesus Christ says about that,

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.

So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 

Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

Matthew 13:24-30

Jesus Christ does not instigate aggressive rebellion against governing authorities. “Then the men of David said to him, “This is the day of which the Lord said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you.’” And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.” 1 Samuel 24:4 

As Christians, we are the “men” (people) of Jesus Christ, and we know that a day is coming in which the Lord Jesus comes back and has complete victory over this world. We see the “scarlet cord” in the Old Testament referring to Jesus Christ when it is written in Psalms 110:1, “And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.” Luke 20:42-43

Saul was the enemy of David as he persistently pursued and conspired against David to have him killed. Today, we know the current governing system of the “democratic” society is the enemy of Christianity as they conspire to eliminate the Gospel of Christ from every society in the world. They are living by the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak and make it very well known by what they say and do that they are enemies of the teaching of the Bible. The image of the beast lives and speaks through them by the thing which forms their thoughts and feelings. As it lives and speaks through them, they are conformed to their place in life by what they say and do. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

At times, we might feel the rage of indignation against those who are the enemy of Jesus Christ as they make life difficult for us with a ton of aggravation and various afflictions. When they do not receive Jesus Christ on our way to the New Jerusalem, we might respond the way the Apostles did when those hostile to Christ did not receive Him, “But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” Luke 9:53-54 The Apostles saw the “scarlet cord” in the Old Testament and are referring to 2 Kings 1:10-12, “So Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.”

David cut off a corner of Saul’s robe, which was an act which totally humiliated and revealed the vulnerability of Saul. In a sense, a corner of the robe of the global government of the beast has been cut off by the prophecy of the Bible against them. It must be humiliating to them that the blueprint they have for this world is revealed in detail through the pages of the Bible. Their face has been marred and it must be excruciating to them to know they are the government of the beast utilizing the image and the mark of the beast by which to govern. It must be excruciating to the masses around the world to confront the reality that they are those who empower the government of the beast. Their excruciating humiliation is why they want the Bible eliminated from this world.

The battle is not for us to fight on this earth, but Jesus Christ is coming back in complete victory over His enemies. Every knee will bow every tongue confess that He is Lord.

“Now it happened afterward that David’s heart troubled him because he had cut Saul’s robe. “And he said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.” 1 Samuel 24:5-6 

David’s heart troubled him because he cut Saul’s robe. The heart of Jesus Christ is troubled when His followers interpret His exposure and humiliation of the beast as being hostile to the governing authorities. The Holy Spirit says to us, “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.” Romans 13:1-2 

Although a complete revelation has been given to us about the hostile intentions of the global government towards Christ, the Bible is not a war manifesto. We know their hostile intentions towards God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, but it is not a call to arms for retaliation against them. The heart of Jesus Christ is troubled when His followers believe it is within their right to take advantage of the humiliation and nakedness of the “democratic” society of the beast. The Lord Jesus wants us to walk in the Gospel of Peace and to put on the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20), not the armor of earthly commandos.

When His Apostles wanted to call down fire from Heaven in retaliation for not receiving the Lord Jesus, Jesus replied, “But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.” Luke 9:55-56

Even when the Apostle decided to cut off the ear of one who came to arrest Jesus, Jesus said that is enough of that, and He even healed the ear. As followers of Christ, we don’t physically fight against those who hear the thoughts and feelings given to them by thing which has power over physiology. They are living by the image of the beast which they allow to live and speak through them, but our war is not with flesh and blood but is with spiritual wickedness. That war is fought with the Spirit of Christ, not weapons,

“When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.” Luke 22:49-51

Even when we are confronted with conflict, affliction, and persecution, the answer is not retaliation but compassion. We are followers of Jesus Christ and, “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth” Isaiah 53:7

Today’s world functions on the belief that Christianity means them harm. “So David restrained his servants with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and went on his way.” 1 Samuel 24:7 

Although Saul is intensely set on killing David, David restrained his people from rising up against Saul to do him harm. Saul was able to leave the cave with his life, although David’s people could have easily ended Saul’s life right there and then. These are the words which David used to restrain the killing, “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.” 1 Samuel 24:6 David let Saul walk away.

Jesus Christ restrains His followers from participating in any type of aggression against governing authority, including the government of the beast. Today’s society has an intense purpose to arrest the spread of Christianity to put Christ out of their “democratic” society. They have every intent to kill whatever is left of the Gospel of Christ. (Which means Christians themselves are dwindling and disappearing.) Jesus Christ said now is their hour of which is the power of darkness, “But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” Luke 22:53b. Instead of fighting against the persecution of the Spirit of Christ Jesus says to let it be, “Permit even this!” Luke 22:51 Jesus Christ prevented aggression against the multitudes who came to arrest and crucify Him Luke 22:47-52.

As the followers of Christ offers no aggressive resistance against the multitudes, they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with it?” Revelation 13:4 They follow the beast through the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. As it lives and speaks through them, they are conformed to their place in life among the multitudes of the “democratic” society. Their society is bonded together by denying God, discarding the need for Jesus Christ, and blaspheming the Holy Spirit. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

“David also arose afterward, went out of the cave, and called out to Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed down.” 1 Samuel 24:8 

David was very humble and respectful towards Saul with no malice at all towards him. Jesus Christ wants us to be the same way while living under the authority of the government of the beast. Matthew 5:3-12 are characteristics which the Lord Jesus wants us to have in this hour of darkness. Luke 6:20-26 tells of our blessing when the environment around us is difficult. We are to be humble and respectful and to respond to the masses in a lot better way than what they respond to us,

But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. Luke 6:27-32

“And David said to Saul: “Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Indeed David seeks your harm’?” 1 Samuel 24:9 

Christianity is already seen as an enemy to the “democratic” society which exists in every city around the world. Even in America, government representatives are labeling the “right wing” as extremists which has a “dangerous ideology.” They flat-out say that those who embrace “right wing” beliefs are a threat to the “democratic” rights of every citizen. The “right wing” is traditionally known to embrace the values of the Bible and upholding the US Constitution based on Christian roots. Also, the United Nations (on their Facebook page etc.) openly calls for the masses around the world to “call out” and confront those who are seen as discriminatory, bigoted, not inclusive, etc. In other words, the followers of Jesus Christ are the target of open confrontational aggression as we are considered to present harm to this world’s governing system.

Today’s society functions on the basis that Christians means them harm, which is because of the conflict over the killing of the unborn, the destruction of marriage as God intended, the promotion of LGBQT+ lifestyles etc. But especially because we see cities around the world living for the beast. They allow the image of the beast to live through them by the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak. At the same time, we are not aggressively harmful to them because Jesus Christ gave His life for each one of us. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

 The world is delivered into the hands of Christ who offers mercy and deliverance.

Jesus brings mercy and Salvation not death and destruction. “Look, this day your eyes have seen that the Lord delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s anointed.’ Moreover, my father, see! Yes, see the corner of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the corner of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor rebellion in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. Yet you hunt my life to take it.’” 1 Samuel 24:10-11

David never once had hostile intentions towards Saul, even though Saul was hunting him down to kill him. David showed Saul the piece of the robe that was cut from his robe, revealing that David could have very easily cut his throat instead of his robe. That symbolizes the mercy and compassion shown by God to a hostile world. Instead of death God offers life through His Son Jssus Christ.

In a sense, the prophecy of the Holy Bible is a piece of the robe of this world’s government. It has been held up for the world to see so that the patience and compassion of God can be seen. Every step of the agenda of the global government is revealed in the Bible, revealing the all-knowing, all-powerful, and ever-present reality of God. He could easily do what He wants to this world, and He has by sending His Son Jesus Christ so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Jesus Christ could easily call the Angels from Heaven to prevent the killing of His presence in this world today, but He does not want His followers to engage in aggressive rebellion and violence while on this earth. While we wait for His return, prophecy is being fulfilled and we hope that others would see and come to Him. The prophecy of global warming is being fulfilled, Revelation 16:8-9. The prophecy of the global government of the beast is being fulfilled, Daniel 8 and also Revelation 17. The prophecy of the image and mark of the beast is being fulfilled, Revelation 13.

Today, there is a thing present in this world which forms what people think, feel, do, and speak as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. As it lives and speaks through them, they deny God, reject Jesus Christ, and blasphemes the Holy Spirit. By what they say and do, they are conformed to their place in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast. We are to turn away from their hostility and respond with peace.

 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?”

Matthew 26:52-54

Jesus Christ has no hostile intentions towards the governing authority of this world, and as His followers we mustn’t either. He didn’t come to destroy lives but to save lives. Our job is to share the Gospel of Christ and to reveal the piece of robe cut out from the robe of the “democratic” society of the beast. Maybe they will see the power of God and their vulnerability and acknowledge their need to live for the Lord Jesus.

As Christians, we rely on the coming judgment of Christ, not worldly vengeance. “Let the Lord judge between you and me, and let the Lord avenge me on you. But my hand shall not be against you.” 1 Samuel 24:12 

David was depending on the judgment of the Lord to settle the score with Saul, but David would not lift a finger against Saul. As followers of Jesus Christ, that is exactly what we are supposed to do, to let the judgment of God come against the global government of the beast and all those who live by the thing which gives them what to do, think, and speak. We are not to lift a finger of aggressive rebellion against those in authority nor against anyone else.

This world is dominated by those who despise the teachings of the Bible and Christianity as a whole, and still the followers of Jesus Christ will be in this world until the final day. The majority of people on this planet live by the thing which gives them what to think, feel, do, and speak. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them and by what they say and do they deny God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, blaspheme the Holy Spirit, and afflict Christians.

The Lord Jesus Christ will be the judge and avenger of those who seek to kill Him in this world, but as His followers we live by the Gospel of peace. Those who welcome the thing to form their thoughts, words, and behaviors are conformed to their place in life by what they say and do. They are groomed to the mark of the beast.

Those who despise the teachings of the Bible and those who accept Jesus Christ for the remission of sin are the tares and wheat growing together. The tares will be burned in eternal Hell, but the wheat will be gathered into the Paradise of eternal life. As quoted below,

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 

So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 

Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”Matthew 13:24-30

“As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand shall not be against you.” 1 Samuel 24:13 We do not follow the broad way which leads to destruction, wickedness comes from them. In contrast, we live on the narrow way in the Spirit of Holiness and the Gospel of peace.

Christians are considered pesky and dead meat in the view of the world. “After whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?” 1 Samuel 24:14 

David asked king Saul why he was wasting his time persecuting him when he was nothing more than a dead dog or a flea in the presence of Saul’s persistence to kill him. David was a dead dog in his willingness to do harm to Saul and was just a flea ready to be smashed by Saul. Quite obviously, Saul interpreted David to be a much larger threat to him and far from being a dead dog or flea.

Today, the followers of Jesus Christ are nothing more than a dead dog or a flea to the governing authority within the “democratic” society of the beast. We are dead as an attack dog and as vulnerable as a flea to be smashed by the masses in every city around the world. Even then, quite obviously, the society of this world sees Christianity as a much larger threat to their authority than a dead dog or a flea.

Why is Christianity considered a threat to the powerful global government? Because there is a battle over the soul of a person. The followers of Jesus Christ dedicate their body to be the home of the Holy Spirit and we refuse to give up the territory of our thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors to the thing which has power over physiology, “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” 1 Corinthians 6:19 The thing which controls what a person thinks, does, and speaks wants to dominate the temple of God, our body, “…it opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that it sits as God in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4

The thing which wants to govern over our body enables the image of the beast to live and speak through a person by forming thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and speech. As it lives and speaks through people, they are conformed to their place in life by what they say and do. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

Jesus Christ came to this world and taught about the Kingdom of God, the remission of sin, living peaceably with all people, and to respect the governing authorities. He teaches us that our reward is eternal life in the new heaven and new earth and nothing in this world is worth trading the soul for. In view of the worldly power of the Roman government and Jewish authorities, Jesus was nothing more than a dead dog and a little flea as far as His threat to them. Even so, they saw Jesus Christ as being an enormous threat to their authority, and when they came to arrest Him, His response was like Davids’s to Saul, “Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?” As quoted below,

In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”

Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

Matthew 26:55-56

“Therefore let the Lord be judge, and judge between you and me, and see and plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand.” 1 Samuel 24:15 Jesus Christ is the judge between those who deny Him and those who live for Him. Jesus pleads our case at the throne of God and through Him we are given eternal life. Those who deny God and reject Jesus are given eternal torment in Hell. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

The global “democratic” society replies to the mercy of Jesus Christ.

Those of the world are sentimental over mercy and compassion towards them. “So it was, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.” 1 Samuel 24:16

David was not the son of Saul, but David was the son of Jesse. Likewise, Jesus Christ is not the son of the global “democratic” government of the beast, He is the Son of God. No matter all the humbleness and respect we show to the governing authorities, we will never be the children of this world, we are the children of God through Jesus Christ.

As long as David honored Sul, Saul seemed genuine in his affection towards David. However, as soon as the two parted ways and David returned to serving the Living God, Saul would again look for ways to kill David.

The hallmark of antiChristian behavior is to welcome the honor, respect, and dignity towards themselves which the followers of Jesus Christ give to them, but they deny God, reject Jesus Christ, and blaspheme the Holy Spirit. They detest criticism. The only intention of their heart is to eliminate Christianity, so they accept the goodwill given to them to deflect the honor given to Jesus Christ. It is a form of behavior modification to give positive feedback for honoring the creature human being while bringing affliction to those who honor God the Creator.

Anti-Christian behavior seems very sincere and genuine when we honor them, like Saul who said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.” However, as soon as we return to lift up God through Jesus Christ, they once again return to their hostile ways against us as Christians.

Those who live by the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak are allowing the image of the beast to live and speak through them. By what they say and do, they do not allow any criticism to be spoken against them but expects to be honored in the place of the honor we give to the Lord Jesus. What is living through them sits in the temple of God, the body, as is it were God, “…it opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that it sits as God in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.” As it lives and speaks through them, they are conformed to their place in life by what they say and do. They are conformed to their mark in life as they ae groomed to the mark of the beast.

“…let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:33-23

Those of the world do not reciprocate Christian kindness. “Then he said to David: “You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil. And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when the Lord delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.” 1 Samuel 24:17-18

Saul was definitely speaking the truth when he said David was more righteous than himself. Saul’s only intent was to kill David, but David always extended mercy and grace to Saul. Likewise, Jesus Christ will always offer His mercy and grace to sinners although they have a heart of sin filled with hostility towards His Gospel. At the same time, by His Holiness, He keeps Himself apart from the ways of this world, “Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.” John:23-25 (“Men” in the above verse refers to the whole of humanity.)

As followers of Jesus Christ, we show respect and humbleness to the governing authorities, and show the same humbleness and respect to the masses who make-up the “democratic” society. They mock the Spirit of Christ in us as they say in various ways, “You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil.” For example, they will agree that it is better to give than receive, but only when they are on the receiving end. They expect the mercy and grace of God to be extended towards them as they habitually mock the Holy Spirit, mock Jesus Christ, and deny God. Jesus tells us not to commit to them nor to join with their fellowship as we make an effort to share the Gospel of Christ with them. Their heart is filled with sin, and it is not good for Christians to embrace them.

While we share the mercy and grace of God through Jesus Christ, we never ever boast in a person nor lift up a human being above God,

But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Galatians 6:14

Those of this world will take all of the goodness of the Bible and apply it to themselves as they intend to extinguish the teachings of the Bible from their “democratic” society. They want to convert the mercy, kindness, and love of Christianity to serve their “democratic” society as they toss out the Deity of Christ. They are those who live by the thing which forms what they do, think, feel, and speak. They are allowing the image of the beast to live and speak through them, and by what they say and do they prioritize themselves and mock Christianity. By what they say and do, they are conformed to their place in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast. Even then, the mercy and grace of God are extended to them through Jesus Christ, while realizing the sinful, deceitful, and manipulative condition of humanity, as quoted below from the words of the Apostle Paul,

And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.1 Timothy 1:14-15

Demons acknowledge Jesus Christ and wants mercy and grace.

“‘For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the Lord reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.” 1 Samuel 24:19 

Those are the words spoken by Saul to David after David let him get away with his life. The words sound appreciative, but Saul had nothing in his heart but murderous intent towards David. Apparently, Saul was being very blasphemous in telling David that his reward for being merciful was in the Lord’s hands, definitely not his.

Today’s society has the same attitude towards Christianity as Saul towards David. They leave the fate of the followers of Jesus Christ in the Lord’s hands as they steadily march forward in extinguishing the Gospel of Christ. They will express positive words towards us for bringing goodness towards them, but they detest the idea that we acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In fact, they make the life of a Christian very difficult mentally, emotionally, and physically to prove that our help does not come from God, but from them. They are blasphemous, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and trample on the Holy Spirit.

“And now I know indeed that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.” 1 Samuel 24:20 

The reason Saul was pursuing David was because of his jealousy of David’s popularity among the masses of the people. The fear that David would be king was at the root of Saul’s murderous intent towards David.

Today, those who govern and live by the thing which forms what they think, do, feel, and speak know that Jesus Christ is the one true King. They are allowing the image of the beast to live and speak through them to keep the image of Christ from being king of the soul. That is why the thing which forms thoughts, behaviors, and speech wants Jesus Christ, the Gospel of Christ, and all of Christianity gone from this world. It wants to dominate the person by sitting itself up as God in the temple of God, our body. However, Jesus Christ has already won the victory over sin and death and has made us the temple of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord is something demons can do, as quoted below,

You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!

Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

James 2:19, Luke 4:33-34, Matthew 7:21-23

 “Therefore swear now to me by the Lord that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name from my father’s house.” 1 Samuel 24:21 

Saul wanted David to promise that Saul’s descendants would be guaranteed safety in this life once David became king. In a similar way, Satan wants his descendants to live on this earth without the fear of being destroyed from off the face of the earth. Today, Jesus Christ is King of kings because He has won the victory over sin and death when He died on the Cross to atone for sin and rose from the grave three days later. Jesus Christ has the power and authority to destroy sinners even before the day of judgment comes in the life beyond the grave, “Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?” Mtthew 26:53

Jesus Christ never ever holds the sin of one person against the next generations. Each person is responsible for living for God through Jesus Christ, regardless of who our parents or relatives are.

 “So David swore to Saul. And Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.” 1 Samuel 24:22 

David promised that Saul’s descendants would not suffer death by his hands, and David and his men returned to the stronghold. Jesus Christ has ascended into the stronghold of the Paradise of God and as His followers we abide in the stronghold of His Spirit. On this earth, Jesus promises that sinners will not be slaughtered in His name. In fact, by His grace and mercy (longsuffering) He patiently waits for sinners to come to Him for the remission of sin and eternal life,

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

2 Peter 3:14-16

Unfortunately for all of Saul’s sons, and Saul himself, they were all killed by the Philistines in battle, as written about in 1 Samuel 31. Sinners are fighting a worldly battle to bring in the global “democratic” society of the beast, but they reject the Kingdom of Heaven in life beyond the grave. There is a tragic end to the global government and a tragic end for individuals in the life to come. They depend on the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak for their salvation. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them as they reject God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit. By what they say and do. they are conformed to their place in life, their mark in life, as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

God has promised that through Jesus Christ there is always time to come to Him during life on this earth. That is what His longsuffering, patience, mercy, and grace is all about, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
